Quickest and easiest way is to get a SCT tuner (X3 or Livewire) w/ custom tunes from 5 Star Tuning.

And that is about the only upgrade that offers significant performance upgrade short of massive investment. The stock setup is remarkably well balanced.
Lots of ways to add noise and bling, but real world performance? Not so much....

Well I did plenty to my 99 V10, just about every bolt-on short of some screws.
My personal favorites were the twin electric fans that helped reduce the drag on the motor. I swapped out the MAS for a Grantenelli (sp?) one at the same time I swapped out the throttle body with an ACCUFAB single-blade oval TB and used a Superchips Tri-max tuner. I must say it ran great, pulled hard as hell and still maintained the MPGs.
I can't say much about the newer motors but remember they come from the "modular" motor family. If it fits a V8 it probally fits the V10. Hell I was just about to swap in a Lighting water pump I just never got around to ordering the new pump.

My 08 V10 leaves me smiling at every turn... I do not need any more power. You want to tweak it, just cuz you have to?
